Beneath the Tangles

connecting anime and belief in open community

Author: Matthew G

Matthew G is interested in things. Many of them anime-related. He’s also trying to develop a taste for manga as time allows. Since his start as a long-winded, scatter-brained hobby blogger two years ago, Matthew has become the swashbuckler-in-chief for Team Anchester of the TangleCast, where he can be found taking shonen far too seriously, staring squinty-eyed at modern culture, and harping on the supremacy of God. So, like, your grandpa + anime.

Missing the Forest for the Chainsaws

We’re delighted to welcome back an old friend and once-upon-a-time staffer here, Matthew, for this eye-opening reassessment of the controversial mega-hit, Chainsaw Man. May we all have ears to hear what he’s saying! “How can you—a Christian—justify watching Chainsaw Man?” I saw this question after every episode. It’s true that Chainsaw Man is edgy and… Read More Missing the Forest for the Chainsaws

TangleCast 60: Vanity, Vanity

T-shirt slogans, Black Clover, and…Diet Coke?  Yes, these topics are all connected, as ways we can fool ourselves.  Join Matthew of Team Anchester this week as he explains how vanity, as seen in Black Clover, compares to some everyday examples that many of us might not have thought anything of.  Besides the aforementioned Diet Coke… Read More TangleCast 60: Vanity, Vanity

TangleCast 56: Afikomen, All Might, and the Superhero

Have you seen EndGame yet? Then keep it to yourself! Matthew still hasn’t seen it. However, he does know a thing or two about the origin of superhero stories. This week he leads Team Anchester in a crash-course history lesson about the inarguably Judaic origins of the superhero, why Christians should care, and how it… Read More TangleCast 56: Afikomen, All Might, and the Superhero

TangleCast 54: Code Geass and Men Without Chests

Are you fan of Code Geass? Well, Team Anchester is not, and Matthew is ready to explain why, and its not because the series isn’t fun or engaging or interesting—its because Lelouch is “a man without a chest.” Listen in to see what that means in this episode that continues our weeklong theme of loneliness.… Read More TangleCast 54: Code Geass and Men Without Chests

TEASER: The Elusive Samurai The Elusive Samurai i TEASER: The Elusive Samurai

The Elusive Samurai is coming! Based on Yusei Matsui’s (Assassination Classroom) manga, the series will be produced by Cloverworks. No date yet for its premiere.

Here’s a description of the series from @vizmedia, which releases the manga:

After the massacre of his family by the traitor Ashikaga Takauji, Tokiyuki flees with the help of a handful of loyal retainers who have also survived the purge. One of them is Suwa Yorishige, an ally of the Hojo clan and lord of Suwa Province. The slightly odd Yorishige also claims to be clairvoyant and foretells that Tokiyuki will one day become the ruler of Japan. But for the moment, escaping from enemy territory is the priority!
